My dentist recently got a cerec machine and says he’s only doing cerec crowns now. I’ve always had traditional crowns and really want to stick with the same thing. What do I do?

Kate,

What you would do is tell your dentist how you feel. There is nothing that says you HAVE  to have a CEREC  crown. I’m sure the situation is more that your dentist has invested all this money on the CEREC machine and he wants to get the most out of it.  He can do the same types of crowns in one appointment.

If he was able to do the traditional crowns before, he is now.  However, it is his practice and he ultimately decides what procedures he wants to do at his office.  However, you get to decide what to do with your body. So, you might be better served with a different dentist.
